Paul Banoub Jan 27, 2015 12:22 PM (in response to Toby Erkson)Thanks Toby. There should be a ton of applications of this, both fun and useful that I'm looking forward to seeing. My users have instantly got into it and are kicking off Lync chats all over the place now!

Paul Banoub Jan 30, 2015 12:23 AM (in response to Jeff Strauss)no worries. On the surface this seems just a bit of fun but if you look at all the available URI Scheme options then there could be loads of cool applications of it, both in work and in Tableau Public.
Some of my users have already started using the Lync integration in production.

there's definite use cases here. Do you know of a way to incorporate a viz screenprint or a direct link into the IM?

Paul Banoub Jan 30, 2015 7:35 AM (in response to Jeff Strauss)Not tried myself yet but I'm planning to see if there's something regarding syntax in one of the RFCs associated with im: or mailto:

sumit kumar Feb 18, 2015 12:57 AM (in response to Paul Banoub)Hi Paul ,
This is the nice concept and i want to implement this in my dashboards but i didn`t understand the full concept . So do You have some materials from where i can understand the working of this whole concept . This is the hidden thing inside Tableau configuration and really nice to have .I am new to this URI schema and all . I can follow the step as you suggested and can implement as per twbx example given by You .But before that i want to know the concept.It seems like that i can do more stuff on this .
Regards ,
Sumit Kumar

Colin Fowler Jul 13, 2016 9:14 AM (in response to Paul Banoub)Hi Paul,
I am getting major push-back from our I/T org about whitelisting SIP and IM protocols. They are saying that the information that they have received from our Tableau TAM is that enabling this action does open up some back doors into our Tableau Server, with the ability for a "Tableau user connection to run server-side commands".
Are you aware of any of these concerns or do you have any talking points that I could potentially take back to I/T? Research online has yielded minimal results, except for this thread, which I have already visited multiple times.
The tabadmin settings you list above seem very specific; simply adding IM to the default list of whitelisted protocols: http, https, gopher, news, ftp and mailto. Then again, in full disclosure I lack a lot of technical expertise in this area.
Any help from you or anyone else is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Colin Fowler
